[Video] [Backdated five days to the twenty-fifth]

[When Sheila turns on her NV, she's standing over her kitchen stove. There are piles of dirty dishes in her arms and she shifts them with a soft clatter to the sink, and a feast of food sitting in a mountainous pile beside her, including some . She gives her forehead a mopping and looks ruefully into the screen.]

It hath been a long journey from the place I embark'd. To think that I once cook'd o're an open pit and had to watch my skirts afore they burst into flame. I hope that all hath attained peace at long last. And that all hath found a reason for thanks. 'Tis not quite Christmas yet, but the feast season hath begun.

I hath prepared a repast of thanks to Saint Catherine. Ye need not share my faith to join me in a cup! If any art hungry, my door remains open until sunset.

[OOC: It's just past Saint Catherine's Day, and Sheila's prepared a takeaway meal for all of her friends! This is open to action threads for any who want to come eat at her apartment.]

[Don't mind Eponine. She's not even listening to you, Sheila. (Sorry).
She IS staring at the food, though. Eponine doesn't go hungry any more - but she always appreciates good food. And that looks delicious.]

[Sheila sees you staring, 'ponine! And there's no need for you to be shy.]

Does thou wish to join me?

[It takes Eponine a moment to process that]

Are you having a party, Madame? I can help, you know? My Lady has taught me to be a good maid now.

[Flowery medieval language, coming at ya!]

'Tis less a party than a gathering. Art Saint Catherine's birthday and I am having a feast day! And all art welcome to partake if they so wish.

[Confusion is evident on her face]

Who is Saint Catherine? Must I bring something?

[Because a feast sounds delicious]

Hmn I see. We shall drop by, Sheila. It is about time we've all met in person I think.

[Hattie frowns a bit, not wanting to admit Sheila's past cooking experiences were her own current experiences. She hasn't the slightest clue who St Catherine is either, but pfft. Details. She just wants to show Eponine off.]

Will there be wine?

[Then to Eponine.]

Are you nearby? I can pick you up.

[Eponine had been hurrying home to change into her 'best dress' but she stops when she hears Hattie.]

I am in sector 7, Madame.

[She had been wandering, exploring the city.]

I don't have my uniform, though.

Seven? What in heavens are you doing over there?

[She then gives a knowing smile.]

Yes, I figured as much. Of course I am always prepared for situations such as this; we can stop at my studio along the way.

Just... walking, Madame. I have not been here much.

[Of course they could stop. Trust Hattie to have a uniform prepared. Eponine smiles ruefully.]

It is a good job you have been rehearsing my waiting skills, no? Where shall I meet you?

[Hattie may surprise Eponine, then, as she doesn't have a uniform prepared, but rather nicer clothing. If it were a workday, that'd be another story.]

I see. I understand there is plenty of green out there; far too much green for my tastes. If you're anywhere near the lake, there will do.

[She switches to private.]

Actually, this will be the perfect opportunity to get your feet wet in a social gathering.

I'll go to the lake.

[She starts to walk over there, still clutching her NV-disguised-as-a-letter, so the picture on Hattie's end will be bouncing.]

What do you mean, Madame? Do you not wish me to wait on you there? I have been to parties before, you know. I went to the ball, remember?

[Whoops! Hi Hattie!]

La, I hath a bottle of red - the white isn't quite as crisp, but it chills within the refrigerator.

Saint Catherine is a martyr saint - popular in my time period. She suffered great torture for her belief and was consecrated by my church. On the anniversary of her execution, there art parades and feasts in her honor in the villages.

And nay! Thou art my guests, 'twouldn't be fair to thee!

Oh. I have never seen a parade for someone who is executed - except people going to see them being hanged. And then when they tear down the body and the family have to grab it quick.

[She doesn't know what a martyr saint is.] It is strange that the church makes a feast for a criminal.

Madame Hattie is to come and collect me - so I will come with her. Thank you, Madame, for letting me come.

'Tis what happens when one is martyred. If one gives themself to God and yet suffer terribly, they may yet see the kingdom of heaven, and that is martyrdom.

Sadly, it only works if ye're a great figure of sacrifice and belief.

La, I shalt see ye both presently!

[It's been a while since they've spoken, but Kuchiki had asked him to help Sheila if he ever couldn't. And he'll honour that promise mostly because he doesn't have a problem with the woman himself. Seems appropriate to just check up on her a bit.]

You've been well?

[She always welcomes a familiar face - even if it's a slightly grumpy one.]

Oh aye, I remain busy during the working day, and in the eve I hath company of varrying sorts.

Does thou do well, Sir Hitsugaya?

[It's just how his face looks. Really. Of course, she's used to Kuchiki, so stoic-type faces are old hat to her.]

Well enough, I suppose. [Ella's back, which is good. Otherwise? Meh.]

[Definitely! And even Ash could be stoic ~~when he wasn't screaming his head off.~~]

La, 'tis good that thou art pleased with thy life. Has thou plans for the season?

["Pleased with his life"? Well, he can't say he'd go that far. But it's close enough that he won't dispute it.]

It's not something we celebrate at home. [What are holiday plans? He doesn't make those unless invited/dragged.]

[It could, in Sheila's opinion, always be worse.]

La, I hath gathered that many do not in this time. Shall ye at least take a day of rest?

I don't tend to do such things. [Hitsugaya? Relax? Suuuuuure.]

[Frown!]

Nay relax? But how can thee go on and on without a moment to breathe?

Saint Catherine? Is she...uh, the patron saint of Thanksgiving?

[Smiiiille!]

Nay, Larry! She art a Saint within my religion, one of great import. We feast this day to give thanks to her martyrdom.
